Awesome near 7 minute Playin that starts to go out there as it would much more in a few months. Really interesting period for the band imo

Black Peter

Fox Theatre

This is a spectacular version. Must-listen for Black Peter fans. I’m partial to the post hiatus versions with the longer jammed out piercing solo but Jerry sings this one so well and it feels So tightly and sweetly played with regards to the lyrical contents. A+ Dead

The Mosque

My long-time favorite is the Pemproke Pines version from 3 days prior and this one is right up there with it. Monster version. And sublime transitions
